Hey Cassettes!
So far this May, we have covered Pokemon, Godzilla, and now, DRAGONS. Unfortunately we weren't able to use the studio this week (we were traveling) so instead we recorded on location!
We made a list of our top 10 movie dragons! Based on ability, plot significance, design, and personality, we ranked our favorite fiery reptiles.
This episode is special for a few reasons. Not only is it slightly shorter than our other cases, it's also the last full-length episode for May! Next...

Happy Anniversary, Spongebob! On May 1st, 1999 an sea sponge applied to work at The Krusty Krab as a fry cook. Showing off his unrelenting optimism and cooking skills, he won the hearts of Mr. Krabs (his future boss) and children everywhere. Now 20 years later, Spongebob Squarepants is a cultural icon.
Spongebob Squarepants changed Nickelodeon and cartoons forever. He was a beacon of humor in times of struggle, giving Americans reasons to laugh. The world was in need of his talents, and...

Hey Cassettes! We're back with another episode of The Black Case Diaries! After our five-week long discussion about the Disney Princesses, we switched gears to talk about PBS Children's shows! This channel as taught, comforted, and amused us for so many years, we felt we should talk about it!

Thanks for listening!

Hey there, Cassettes! If we were to ask you, "Who is the hero of Die Hard?" You would have to say John McClane. What about The Princess Bride? Why, Westley and Princess Buttercup of course. Well sure, they're the OBVIOUS heroes. But what about the people on the side? Who are the heroes in the background? Every once in a while, the outcome of a movie hinges on the presence of one character; and sometimes that character gets overlooked.
This week, we discuss the idea of an Unsung Hero in...

Also, be on the lookout for our next full-length episode this Friday! As always, thanks for listening.

When we think of a Disney Animated Classic, the same movies tend to come to mind (for example, The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, and Aladdin.)
With as many as 57 movies that fit this category, it's only natural that some films will fall to the wayside. This week, we ranked our favorite somewhat-forgotten Disney Animated classics. We didn't choose the MOST forgotten, just our favorites that tend to be less popular.

Premiering in Canada on October 31st 1990, "Are You Afraid of the Dark" was a horror anthology series for children created by DJ MacHale. It aired on Nickelodeon until 1996 (before a soft reboot in 1999) and followed a group of kids that gathered once a week to tell stories. They referred to themselves as "The Midnight Society."
With stories that ranged from terrifying to downright silly, this show was a fan favorite on the SNICK line-up. This week we discuss this 90s classic and our hopes...
